Playing Dumb

As everyone knows, Hillary Clinton has lost a whole bunch of recent contests because their caucus format disenfranchises her core constituents. Thus, when you turn to a place like Washington, DC with its primary, she's in better shape. Indeed, when you consider that DC's median household income of $40,000 is below the national household median, 20 percent of our residents are below the poverty line, and that there are only 86 adult men here for every 100 adult women, one would expect a tribune of the working class like Clinton to do extremely well here. After all, those are citywide statistics, and one can expect the ranks of registered Democrats to have an even more downscale and female slant than this.
